According to Matt Schneidman, former Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett is back with the Packers working in a consulting role on the staff.
Schneidman notes Hackett is filling a similar role that former Jets HC Robert Saleh did last year after being fired, working with the defense and giving perspective as a coach with a background on the opposite side of the ball.
Hackett worked three years for the Packers before getting the head coaching job with the Broncos in 2022.
Hackett, 44, began his NFL coaching career with the Buccaneers back in 2006 as an offensive quality control coach. After two years in Tampa Bay, the Bills hired him for the same position.
Hackett later became the QB/TEs coach at Syracuse and worked his way up to offensive coordinator a year later. After Doug Marrone was hired as the Bills’ head coach, Hackett returned to Buffalo as the team’s offensive coordinator.
Hackett followed Marrone to the Jaguars and served as their offensive coordinator for three seasons before being fired. He joined the Packers in 2019 and eventually was promoted to offensive coordinator before taking the Broncos head coaching job in 2022.
Hackett finished with a 4-11 record in his first and only season with the Broncos. He was fired before the end of the season and joined the Jets as offensive coordinator in 2023. He was replaced during the 2024 season and not brought back on the next coaching staff.
In 2023 under Hackett, the Jets were No. 31 in total offense, No. 29 in points per game, No. 30 in passing yards per game and No. 23 in rushing yards per game.
